To empower school districts during the pandemic and beyond, we’ve added smart new features to the industry’s most advanced communication platform.
Treker’s new ridership system is sure to put a smile on the faces of students, drivers and district officials alike. With our new Face ID ridership option, kids can check on and off the bus simply by looking at the driver’s tablet. Using advanced AI technology, the child’s face is matched to a picture provided by the parent or school information system.
Think of the advantages. For starters, there’s no need to put a “gate” or reader on the bus, which can save installation and update costs. Plus, students no longer have to carry around—and potentially lose—check-on items like RFID cards. One less thing for kids to lose is one big win for parents and districts alike.
Here’s another important—and timely—advantage: Face ID lessens the chance of spreading the virus by reducing hand-based activity such as swiping an RFID while boarding.
We’ll continue to offer a full complement of options, from our hands-free fob called TrekCheck to RFID cards and manual check-in. Face ID is just the latest ridership addition to make your choices even more robust. And given the cost and health benefits it provides, it might be just the solution you’re looking for.
Face ID is one of several new features we’re creating to keep students, staff and families safe and healthy. To learn more about our Ahead Of The Curve Initiative, or for a demo of the Treker communication platform, reach out to us by filling out the form below.
